The Ghana Education Service (GES) has established four security posts in conflict-prone areas to ensure the safety of candidates taking part in the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), which begins today, August 5, with practical sessions.

Addressing the media, the Director-General of GES, Prof Ernest Kofi Davis, outlined critical security measures aimed at guaranteeing the smooth conduct of this year's examination. "We are ensuring security presence in the schools, so there will be no day students this year.

All candidates will remain on campus under security protection until they complete their exams," Prof.

Davis stated. "Those who need to be escorted will be taken back to the safe communities they came from.
